Software for Monitoring IO

[aicnevivnoc]

I don't know how to call this type of software. Please let me try
describe it ---

When we are online, the indicator in the tray area shows us if there's
any upload and/or download.

However, the upload / download showed bby the indicator doesn't really
tells us much. What I mean is, the upload/download process could be
from browser, or an FTP program, or telnet, or even virus / trojan.

What I am looking for is a software that can tell us which program is
calling for upload / download.

There may be more than one program doing upload/download at the same
time, and in this case, the program can show us which are the programs
doing that.

And if possible, that program can show us which IP that program is
accessing.

Let's say there's a trojan in my PC, and let's say the trojan is
uploading info to a certain IP.

With that program, I can --- theoretically at least --- identify which
program is doing upload, to where.

All said, is there such programs available?

If so, please share with me what you know.

Thank you !!

It's a bit cryptic for the non-connections lines, but netstat /v
issued from a Command Prompt will give you a look at all the connections
to the machine, including which ones are just listening or closed, etc..
netstat /? will display the available switches.
Such information would help you get a start in determining some of
the things you want to see and use. It'll also run in a "repeat" mode
every xx seconds you tell it to (/interval) so you can let programs
access the net, close, sit doing nothing, etc., and watch the changes as
they happen. Quite useful when you get used to it. And then there are
other useful commands available too.
